Thank you!

The Museum at Eldridge Street is grateful to our donors for your generous support. You help us keep our doors open and our lights on. You ensure the continued life of the 1887 Eldridge Street Synagogue, our home and a major American Jewish landmark. You support classes for more than 7,500 school children and over 800 adult learners. You help us present festivals and concerts that bring together the diverse immigrant communities of our Lower East Side neighborhood. You help us tell the story of the Jewish immigrant experience for visitors of all races and faiths and from all around the world. Together we are stewards of this remarkable 1887 landmark and ensure its vitality for generations to come.

Words from our Donors

“I donate to preserve the synagogue for my children and for generations to come.”

“It is crucial that such an important building, which very often gave persecuted immigrants a place of refuge and freedom to practice, should never be lost to this city or world. It was, and is now, a beautiful building.”

“Visiting the synagogue is like visiting Ellis Island. The spirits of my father’s father and mother and all of my great-grandparents are in the pews and the windows and chandeliers and prayers books and bimah.”

“Eldridge Street should be maintained throughout the ages so it can inspire future generations of not only Jewish people but also people of all faiths.”

“It is a joy to visit – and you can’t beat the quality of the classes and the folks who teach them.”
